Silencers, suppressors, sound suppressors or sound moderators are a device that reduces the sound intensity and muzzle flash when a firearm or air gun is discharged. It can be a detachable accessory to, or integral part of, the muzzle or barrel. A typical silencer is a metal cylinder that has an internal sound buffers that slow and cool the escaping propellant gas, which decreases both sound volume and muzzle blast. A flash suppressor, on the other hand, specifically cools or disperses durning gas typically exiting from the muzzle or a carbine-length weapon, without reference to sound reduction.
